Which action best aligns with the Define component of the ASCA National Model?

  1. Examining Mindsets and Behaviors standards for students

  2. Leading a school counseling advisory council

  3. Conducting needs assessments

  4. Facilitating an annual administrative conference with the principal

The correct answer is: Examining Mindsets and Behaviors standards for students

The Define component of the ASCA National Model involves identifying and understanding the needs of students, in order to effectively develop and deliver a comprehensive school counseling program. Of the given options, only examining Mindsets and Behaviors standards for students directly aligns with this component. Leading a counseling advisory council may involve discussing student needs, but it is not the main focus of this activity. Conducting needs assessments and facilitating a conference with the principal are important tasks for school counselors, but they do not specifically focus on defining student needs. Therefore, A is the best and most direct action that aligns with the Define component of the ASCA National Model.
